Topical Encyclopedia

The term "saveth" is an archaic form of the verb "save," commonly found in older English translations of the Bible. It is used to describe the act of delivering, rescuing, or preserving someone or something from harm, danger, or sin. In the context of the Bible, "saveth" often refers to the divine intervention of God in the lives of individuals or nations, emphasizing His role as a Savior.

Biblical Usage

1. Divine Salvation: The concept of God as the one who "saveth" is central to the biblical narrative. In the Old Testament, God is frequently depicted as the deliverer of Israel, saving them from their enemies and from peril. For example, in Psalm 34:18-19 , it is written, "The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all."

2. Spiritual Salvation: In the New Testament, the term "saveth" is often associated with spiritual salvation through Jesus Christ. This salvation is not merely a physical deliverance but a rescue from sin and eternal death. In John 3:17 , it is stated, "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."

3. Faith and Works: The relationship between faith and works in the context of salvation is a significant theme in the New Testament. James 2:14 poses the question, "What good is it, my brothers, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?" This highlights the belief that genuine faith, which "saveth," is evidenced by righteous actions.

4. Eternal Security: The assurance of salvation is a topic of theological discussion, with many passages affirming the security of those who are saved. In John 10:28 , Jesus declares, "I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand."

5. Role of Grace: Salvation is often described as a gift of grace, not earned by human effort but granted by God's mercy. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes this, stating, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."

Theological Implications

The use of "saveth" in Scripture underscores the sovereignty and mercy of God in the act of salvation. It reflects the belief that salvation is initiated and completed by God, who is both just and loving. The term also highlights the transformative power of salvation, which not only rescues individuals from sin but also calls them to a life of holiness and service.

Practical Application

For believers, the concept of being "saved" carries both a present and future dimension. It assures them of God's ongoing presence and protection in their lives while also pointing to the hope of eternal life. This assurance encourages Christians to live in gratitude and obedience, reflecting the character of the One who "saveth."
